$$$$$

While the resolution of DVD left much to be desired, Blu-ray has the ability to nicely reproduce a 1940s film. Might be worth taking a look, as while DVD is lacking, Blu-ray has the ability to mimic a 35mm print from that era.

It may not be quite as simple as that. It's not just about profitability. It's about diminishing losses. And 15-20 million or more doesn't mean a great deal in the scheme of things. It might be more company efficient to shut down an entire division, that take a profit that inconsequential.

Presuming those funds don’t get routed back toward covering production and studio overhead on the balance sheet.

Correct. Some publishers have made it seem as though Atmos, like HDR are in some way either aligned with, or a part and parcel of 4k. The reality is that Atmos has nothing to do with 4k. It’s more akin to receiving puddle lamps on your new vehicle if you purchase the upgrade including mink...

It's a wonderful film that every serious collector should have in their library. I'm hopeful that there's enough of an uptick from Blu to 4k that it stands out.

True. But my major point was to acknowledge that I’m not attempting to restrict the way that you spend $$ on whatever you wish.

Robert - No one is suggesting how you or others spend $$. I’m merely making the point that the concept and selection of 4k releases has gone (in some cases) FAR beyond any perceived technical benefits over a high quality Blu-ray derived from the same master element.

Not a great loss. Excellent film. Little to no real value in 4k. A quality Blu-ray will more than suffice, Let us not get over-enthused by 4k merely for the sake of 4k.
